  minutes
  
    1. Cream butter or margarine with sugar and corn syrup. Stir in cinnamon,
  cloves and baking soda mixture. Add flour a little at a time, mixing well
  after each addition until stiff dough forms. Cover dough and refrigerate
  until firm.
  
    2. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Roll dough to  1/8-inch thickness on floured
  surface. Cut with cookie cutters into reindeer or desired shapes. Or roll
  dough into logs about 1-inch in diameter and slice crosswise into
  1-inch-thick rounds.
  
    3. Bake on ungreased cookie sheets until lightly browned, about 8 to 10
  minutes.
  
    Sirups kager, a Danish spice cookie "as brown as a reindeer," was a
  humble but coveted Christmas prize enjoyed by her grandfather in Denmark,

  Tribune annual Food Guide Holiday Cookie Contest December 4, 1986
